This thesis consists of literary case study of a classical Arabic travel narrative dictated by the Moroccan scholar and Ṣūfī Yūsuf ʾibn ʿĀbid al-Fāsī (يوسف بن عابد الفاسي) (d.1048/1638) in his new-found home in Hadramawt, Yemen. The study seeks to investigate the Ṣūfī dimension of the corpus text and address its legacy within the riḥla tradition (AR. الرحلة al-riḥla) by the usage of Ṣūfī elements,
A search for CP violation in the decay kinematics and vector-boson fusion production of the Higgs boson is performed in the H → ZZ* → 4ℓ (ℓ = e, μ) decay channel. The results are based on proton-proton collision data produced at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector from 2015 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. Matrix element-ba
A mobile gamma spectrometer's series of pulse height distributions (gamma spectra) acquired when passing a point source contains enough information to derive the distance to the source, its shielding and activity. Two Excel routines, SODAC and SSC, have been developed to determine these source parameters. SODAC determines the source-road distance by finding the best fit of the measured series of t
The eyeball is not rigid and deforms during saccades. As a consequence, the saccade waveform recorded by an eye tracker may depend on which structure of the eye is used to estimate eyeball rotation. Here, we systematically describe and compare signals co-recorded from the retina, the cornea (corneal reflection, CR), the pupil, and the lens (fourth Purkinje reflection, P4) during saccades. We found
The 2024 Lund University Conference on Teaching and Learning, hosted by MedCUL and the Division for Higher Education Development (AHU), took place in the newly inaugurated Forum Medicum – an environment purposefully designed to inspire connection, collaboration, and exchange. The venue’s open architecture mirrored the conference theme, Connecting teachers – changing from within, underscoring the r
It is a well-established fact that the use of gestures is a ubiquitous feature of communication with language. This is true for both spoken and signed languages. However, while in spoken languages, gestures are produced in a different modality than speech (visual versus vocal/auditory, respectively), gestural elements in sign languages are produced in the same modality as sign (both are visual). T
Subdural hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhages, and encephalopathy are associated with the medical diagnosis of abusive head trauma. These findings have also been observed in children exposed to admitted or witnessed shaking. There are various suggested mechanisms behind these findings. One mechanism is exclusive to intentional shaking, while the other suggested mechanisms are compatible with both inten
Background and aims: Gallstone disease during pregnancy can have varying consequences, from mild to severe and even life-threatening. The aim was to investigate how gallstone intervention during pregnancy impacts pregnancy, delivery and the newborn child. Methods: Pregnant patients 18–45 years identified from the Swedish National Register for Gallstone Surgery and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopa
Objective. In patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) initiating secukinumab (SEC), we aimed to identify baseline (treatment start) predictors of achieving low disease activity (LDA) after 6 months, as measured by the Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score using C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), as well as treatment contin
Much scholarship has critiqued the fact that non-governmental organisations (NGOs), as a result of global neoliberalism and consequential state retreat, have become private service providers of children’s protection rights. But how can we explain the situation when neoliberal states also undergo autocratisation and take back service provision from NGOs, while at the same time preserving the privat
Pediatric cancers exhibit complex evolutionary dynamics driven by genetic instability, clonal selection, epigenetic reprogramming, and microenvironmental interactions. Tumor evolution is typically characterized by branching phylogenies, where subclones with unique genetic profiles emerge at different locations and time points. Partly as a result of this diversity, advanced cancers often develop re
Democratic resilience has emerged as a central theme in academic debates in response to growing threats to contemporary democracies, yet little attention has been paid to resilience capacity to external stressors. This article conceptualises electoral integrity as a key democratic resilience capacity and examines how central actors in the Swedish electoral administration make sense of, and navigat
In Acoustofluidics, sound pressure waves can cause a force field on the liquid in a microfluidic channel. The forces depend on density and compressibility of the medium as well as the pressure and velocity amplitude of the sound. The forces lead to a steady flow in the bulk of the fluid, namely acoustic streaming. If a localized change in temperature introduces a gradient in compressibility and de
The very high spin behaviour of nuclei with ∼ 10 particles outside the 146Gd core are studied. Our method of calculation, which is based on the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism, makes possible to follow individual configurations as functions of spin. We concentrate on 158Er and 154Dy which nuclei become oblate with rotation around the symmetry axes for I = 40-50. It is found that most such obl
The low-spin features of odd-mass nuclei in the Z∼62, N∼90 region, for which stable octupole deformations has been previously suggested, are studied without introducing the static intrinsic reflection asymmetry (SIRA). Calculations using a Woods-Saxon potential and taking into account the Coriolis mixing show that most properties can be described in this approximation. Furthermore, the calculated
Introduction: Infection remains the most common treatment-related toxicity of childhood ALL, emphasizing the need to identify patients at risk and to tailor treatment strategies accordingly. Aims: The primary aim was to compare infectious toxicity during early treatment for childhood ALL following the ALLTogether and NOPHO ALL-2008 (ALL-2008) protocols, and second, to identify risk factors for inf
Mapping spatial variability of bioavailable strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) is fundamental to robust analyses of prehistoric human and animal mobility and provenance based on strontium isotope data. A key challenge is how to construct and extrapolate a baseline for specific landscapes to enable meaningful correlation with high-resolution archaeological data. This study presents a regional high-reso
Cellulosa är den vanligaste biopolymeren på jorden och en viktig reservoar av organiskt kol i terrestra ekosystem. I skogar kommer mycket av denna cellulosa från trä och bryts ner av saprotrofa basidiomyceter. Dessa svampar klassificeras traditionellt som vitröta eller brunröta baserat på deras sönderfallsmekanismer i lignocellulosasubstrat. Huruvida dessa funktionella kategorier förblir distinktaCellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth and a major reservoir of organic carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. In forests, much of this cellulose originates from wood and is decomposed by saprotrophic basidiomycetes. These fungi are traditionally classified as white rot or brown rot species based on their decay mechanisms in lignocellulosic substrates. Whether these functional categories re
Aim: This study evaluates the health effects of plant-based dairy alternatives in healthy individuals and those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Specifically, it investigates whether replacing one daily meal with a plant-based alternative has a positive impact on intestinal microbiota composition and gut health. It also investigates whether the effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt depends
